Modern Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy for Undergraduate Analytical Chemistry

仪器分析学生将在配备石墨炉的灵敏仪器的帮助下对实际样品（例如，发动机油中的磨损金属）进行原子吸收分析。定量分析专业的大二学生将使用火焰雾化源和相同的仪器。这些具体的、灵敏的、切合实际的实验室分析将提高一大批理科专业学生的教学水平，这些学生是地方工业分析化学家的重要骨干。受资助者将从非联邦基金中获得与NSF相同的奖金。

Instrumental analysis students will perform atomic absorption analyses on real life samples (e.g., wear metals in engine oils) with the aid of a sensitive instrument equipped with a graphite furnace. Sophomore students in quantitative analysis will use a flame atomization source with the same instrument. These specific, sensitive, realistic laboratory analyses will improve the instruction of a large number of science majors who form an important cadre of analytical chemists in local industry.The grantee will match the NSF award from non-Federal funds.
